I just created a community to see what reddit offer for mod.

And I see they use blackbox rule to “guess” if user is break a rule, or if user is ban evasion, …

And they give you two options without any measurements, that is “low” and “high” confidence.

Now they are obsessed with AI. Opposite voice might be automatically labelled as breaking the rule.

The problem is that their blackbox doesn’t work very well.

New account (of newly join user, or for privacy concerns) might be censor due to reputation filter.

    I once tried to explain something by asking about their mother and it was automatically flagged as “yo mama” joke. Fuck all these automatic filters.

    I mean, yes? Most filtering and blocking tools are based on heuristics.

    And in the end, anything based on words is an advanced versions of the Scunthorpe problem. That’s just the way things work. Sorry if you always thought it was more advanced than this. :(

    I truly believe that Steve Huffman doesn’t care if users are able to use reddit or not. Reddit is getting it’s gets money on advertisements. Beyond that, the moderators can do as they please and everyday users can get fucked. Ever try to send a message to Big Reddit? I have multiple times over the years and have never got a response.
